Bonefish Grill
11650 U.S. Hwy 1
561-799-2965
Fresh fish, straight from the ocean to your table – that's what Bonefish Grill is all about. Our fish is flown in, inspected and hand cut daily, then it's cooked to perfection over a wood-burning grill. Bonefish Grill is a “polished casual” seafood restaurant founded in St. Petersburg, Florida in January 2000. Veteran restaurateurs’ Tim Curci and Chris Parker had a vision for a dining experience based on simplicity and consistency, and a commitment to excellence on every level. They also dreamt of a place that would take the mystery out of fish, would tell their guests where the fish came from, how best to eat it, and how to experiment with the fun sauces they created to go with the fish. And so that you can enjoy your fish just the way you like it, our knowledgeable staff will show you how our fun sauces and original toppings can best complement your selection. Using flavorful, modern culinary touches such as goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes and hearts of palm, we can assure you the toppings will get as much attention as the fish! For the non-fish eaters, we offer a wide selection of dishes from hand-cut beef and pork tenderloin to freshly prepared pasta and chicken dishes, created with innovative and delectable ingredients.

Paul
Downtown at the Gardens

AUL, founded in 1889, now has a network of 300 top quality bakeries and restaurants worldwide including locations in France, London, Madrid, and Tokyo.
With breakfast, lunch, tea-time, and even a late-night menu, PAUL’s extensive and very affordable menu includes many standard café selections such as eggs benedict, freshly made soups and salads, quiches, crêpes and delicious sandwiches. But the flavors of France are evident in selections like the Dieppois—a sandwich of pure albacore tuna, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, mustard and mayonnaise on one of PAUL’s trademark PAULette bread, or the Croque Monsieur – simply emmental, with turkey or ham in fresh milk white bread -- both stand-outs for their freshness and originality. Likewise, the PAUL Farmhouse salad – a typically French combination of gourmet lettuces, grated carrots, raisins, Swiss emmental cheese, walnuts, grilled chicken, chives and vinaigrette. The café has a carefully pared list of wines and champagnes available by the glass or bottle as well as a selection of domestic and imported beers.
Resistance is futile when it comes to the desserts – options include traditional tarts – bursting with fruits like raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry. The specialty of the house is a classic French confection – the PAUL macaroon – a light fluffy meringue in chocolate, vanilla, coffee or pistachio, while the fresh strawberry charlotte, chocolate mousse cake and white and dark chocolate cake are classic examples of what PAUL does best. And, since any great dessert requires an excellent cup of coffee, the beans are roasted in Italy to PAUL specifications.
